[violin playing jig]
[cheerful music]
* Everybody needs a hero *
* Someone to save the day *
* We’ve got a wind to ride on *
* We are the bold and brave *
* Look to the sky and you will find us *
* High above the world *
* Racing through the sky *
* High above the world *
* We rescue and we ride *
* There’s nothing we can’t do *
* Together we can’t lose *
* We’re high above the world *
[slurping]
I love nature.
Flowers. Butterflies. Birds who dive right at my face.
-[bird screeches] -What?
-[screams] -Huh?
-Why is that bird attacking us? -Whoa!
Whoa!
-Huh? -Huh?
-[squawks] -Uh, what is happening?
That bird has something tied to its leg.
Well, what is it, Ley?
I think it’s a...
wanted poster for Waldondo del Mundo!
"Wanted:
For Too Many No Good Rotten Things To Fit On A Poster"?
Sounds about right for Waldondo.
Wait, there’s something else on the back!
It’s a message from Waldondo.
"Rescue Amigos, it is I, Waldondo Del Mundo,
-and I am in terrible trouble." -[gasps]
Oh, no! what do you think happened to him?
Did his ship sink?
Or did he sail into a storm?
Or maybe his ship sank and then he sailed into a storm?
How could he sail into a storm after his ship sank?
Can we just let Leyla finish?
Oh, right. Proceed.
"I have been captured by Erik the Wretched
and am being held on Pirate Island."
Oh, no!
That’s worse than all of those other things!
-Wait. -[all] What’s Pirate Island?
I don’t know, but it sounds pretty--
-Awesome! -I was gonna say dangerous.
Wait, does Waldondo expect us to rescue him?
Has he forgotten he’s double crossed us like two times?
By my count three.
But I count the Golden Dragon thing twice.
No, it says here he wants us to deliver this note to Marena
so she can rescue him.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let’s get this note to Marena...
or not?
Burps, we can’t be sure this letter is really from Waldondo.
This could be another one of his pirate tricks.
That’s too obvious.
I think it’s from somebody else trying to trap us.
Now I am very confused.
We should still deliver the note to Marena.
She’ll know what to do.
If you say so.
But my gut tells me there is absolutely no way
this is really from Waldondo del Mundo.
This letter is absolutely from Waldondo del Mundo.
So much for your gut.
Are you sure, Marena?
Sí.Three reasons.
Number one, this is Waldondo’s superb handwriting.
Number two, it is signed
"Waldondo del Mundo, greatest pirate who ever lived."
And he really was.
Uh, "greatest pirate who ever lived?"
He got captured, didn’t he?
And number three... [sniffs]
It smells of sea air... and trickery!
So you’re not going to try to rescue him?
I did not say that.
-You didn’t? -No.
Waldondo cannot be trusted...
but he knows that I know he cannot be trusted.
And he also knows that I know that he knows
that I know he cannot be trusted.
Therefore, the only move he would not expect
is for me to trust him. You see?
[all] Nope!
-Of course! -You do, Burps?
Not really. I just always agree with whatever Marena says.
Now, if you will excuse me.
Wait, is she really going to Pirate Island alone?
I can tell you are worried for my safety, purple one,
but Pirate Island is not as dangerous as it sounds...
if you know its secrets, its pitfalls,
its many deadly traps.
Okay, all of that makes it sound even more dangerous.
Wait, Marena. We can’t let you do this on your own.
Dak’s right. You’ve always had our back,
so if you’re going to Pirate Island, then so are we.
I am impressed that you would risk so much for Waldondo.
Not for him. For you.
Ha. If you say so.
Come on, gang. We’re going to Pirate Island!
[exciting music starts, then stops suddenly]
So, uh, quick question:
Where is Pirate Island?
The better question is,
"Where is Pirate Island today?"
Ayiyiyi!
Pirate Island is always on the move.
Never in one place for long.
Uh, how can an island move?
When it isn’t really an island.
Oh, that explains it [loudly] not at all!
Do not worry. You will see when we get there.
But Marena,
if Pirate Island moves around all the time,
how will we ever be able to find it?
It is all right here in Waldondo’s brilliant letter.
All we need is some help from the little one.
Uh, who is she calling little?
[all] Whoa!
-How’d that happen? -[Summer] Wow.
The heat makes the ink appear.
Wait, did she call me little just to make me heat up?
I guess I can live with that.
According to Waldondo’s genius map, Pirate Island is not far.
Let us fly!
There’s Half Moon Bay,
and over there are the Far Islands,
but I still don’t see any Pirate Island.
Me neither. I’m starting to think Marena and Waldondo
don’t know what they’re talking about.
Wait, I do see something!
I should have known never to doubt Marena.
I will take that second roar as an apology.
What?
His first roar sounded very negative.
[ominous music]
Oh, so that’s an island that isn’t an island.
Cool.
-Pirate Island. -[pirates shouting]
a floating fort filled with the toughest pirates
who ever sailed the seven seas...
and a dozen or so smaller lakes and three ponds.
[Dak] Uh-oh.
Oh, boy.
Whoa! They really don’t want any uninvited visitors.
-[grunts] -[shouts] [grunts]
[groans] Hm...
What’s that in the middle?
Pirate Hall.
A gathering place for different crews to trade and--
-Do pirate stuff? -Basically.
Hey, there’s Erik the Wretched.
[Aggro] And Svetlana the Sly, too.
Wait. So pretty much every pirate we know
is right here in one place?
And a bunch we don’t know, too!
Uh, Ley? We need a plan.
You know, I think that’s the first time
I’ve ever heard you say that.
Waldondo is most likely being held on Erik’s ship.
Then it sounds like someone will have to sneak on board,
search the hold, and rescue him.
Oh, sure, it sounds easy when you say it like that.
How can we do it, Ley?
It’s not like we can just walk onto Pirate Island...
Or fly or swim or hop or jump or...
anything!
Maybe Dak and Leyla can’t,
but Sigmund the Small and his sister Helmet Helga can!
Ooh, that’s great!
But who are Sigmund the Small and Helmet Helga?
You really think this is gonna work?
Are you kidding? Of course it’s gonna work!
This is the craziest plan ever...
and I love it! Uh, I mean...
[pirate voice] Yargh!
Sigmund the Small loves this crazy plan, mateys!
Oh, uh...
[pirate voice] And Helmet Helga thinks this plan...
could work. Maybe.
Uh, yargh?
[all] Uh...
Yeah, I’m really, really not sure about this.
I think it’s gonna work great!
Sigmund the Small and Helmet Helga
can give Dak and Leyla tips about how to act like pirates.
Burps, they are Dak and Leyla.
They’re in disguise.
Oh, right, I get it.
No, he doesn’t.
[mischievous music]
I think this is as far as I can get without being spotted.
Thanks, Sum.
Wish us luck!
[pirate voice] Yargh! We’re pirates.
We make our own luck.
Uh-huh.
Good luck.
I’ll be waiting for you right down here.
-Yargh. -Hi!
I mean, yargh yourself!
-[grunts] -[sighs]
Disguises are working so far.
Let’s just hope we don’t see...
[both gasp]
[in unison] Erik the Wretched!
[whimpers]
[both panting]
Huh?
-In here! -Pirate Hall?
Seriously, Dak?
You have a better idea?
-No, I do not. -[humming]
[indistinct chatter]
[gulping] [sighs]
Huh?
[both sigh]
Come on, let’s go before-- Svetlana the Sly sees us.
Exactly.
No, I mean Svetlana the Sly sees us!
Hmm...
Uh, maybe she won’t recognize us.
-I know you. -Gulp!
Sigmund the Small, right?
Uh...
Yargh!
I can’t believe Marena dressed us up as two real pirates!
I can’t believe any of this!
Svetlana, how about a dance?
If I said no, you would be disappointed!
Hit it!
-[lively guitar music] -[all exclaiming]
Come on.
[sighs] What’s taking so long?
Hey, chill out.
You’re one to talk.
You haven’t cooled down since they left.
I can’t help it.
I heat up when I’m nervous, okay?
I know what we have to do:
-Go after them! -Ah-ah-ah!
Patience, blue one, patience.
Perhaps we should have something to eat, eh?
[gasps]
[sniffs] Ugh.
That’s weird.
I know Marena loves fish pies.
[sighs] Maybe she’s too nervous to eat. [gasps]
Her eye patch is on the wrong eye!
Um, guys? Look!
-[yawns] -[Aggro] At what?
Huh? Uh...
I must be more nervous than I thought.
[chomps] [gulps]
This is Erik’s ship. We made it.
[grunts]
Here it is. Waldondo.
We’re here to save... you?
There’s no one here.
[ominous music]
Who are you and why are you on my ship?
[pirate voice] Er, uh... yargh!
I’m Sigmund the Small and this is my sister...
Helmet Helga! Yargh?
Hmm.
Sigmund the Small and Helmet Helga.
Wait a second. I know why you’re here.
Looking for a certain pirate, I suppose?
He’s right over here.
Meet Captain Whisker Beard! Isn’t he cute?
And in mint condition.
Not a single chip or crack...
just like my entire collection of Itty Bitty Pirate Kitties!
Uh, that’s not weird at all.
[gasps] You must be collectors yourselves, right?
Ooh, don’t you just love Itty Bitty Pirate Kitties?
Part pirate, part kitty, all adorable.
[whispering] This is really weird...
[whispering] Hey, it beats being captured.
[spitting]
Wait, there they are!
So, how’d it go?
Not good. Waldondo wasn’t on Erik’s ship.
[sighs] I was afraid of this.
That means he must be held somewhere in Pirate Hall.
Pirate Hall?
But we were in there.
We didn’t see anything.
-[gasps] -Of course not!
I told you, Pirate Island is filled with secrets
and pitfalls and traps.
There are secret compartments everywhere!
Even some of the secret compartments
have secret compartments!
That’s a lot of secret compartments.
Tonight after dark, we will all sneak into Pirate Hall
and search for Waldondo.
[gulps]
[mysterious music]
[snoring]
[sleepily] Yargh.
[groans]
[yawns]
[snores]
Okay, let’s split up and see if we can find some
of these secret compartments.
Now, if I was a pirate,
where would I hide a secret compartment?
Huh?
Huh. Right there could work.
Waldondo’s gotta be in there.
[both] Huh?
Or Zeppla and Sparkle?!
What are you guys doing here?
It was a rainbow-tastrophe!
We were captured during an Inflato-Force mission
that went so wrong!
Oh, I hope my mom doesn’t hear about this.
Thanks, Rescue Riders.
* Caught by pirates, that wasn’t our plan *
* But we’ll get ’em next time *
* We know we can *
[both] Shh!
Don’t wake up the pirates!
[singing quietly]
* Don’t wanna wake up the pirates, of course *
Okay. I wonder what else is in here.
Hold on.
Summer, do any of these book titles sound weird to you?
The Secret History of Hidden Halls,
1001 Great Hiding Spots, and Do Not Pull This Book.
I’m pretty sure I know which book to pull.
Huzzah!
Svengard from Guttsgalor?
Ah, Rescue Riders, I’m so happy to see you!
What are you doing here?
Svetlana captured me
so I would help her sheep win next year’s
"All Island Viking Sheep Festival".
I thought I’d never get out!
Rescue Riders! Huzzah!
Shh!
[whispering] Oh. Sorry. See you.
Wait. I know fire,
and something is not right with that fireplace.
Well, I know spikes and...
okay, I got nothing.
What is it, Agg?
Dragon eggs?
What are they doing in there?
[chuckles] [grunts]
Ha. [groans]
Hmm. Ha!
No.
Hmm.
Now I know Waldondo’s in there!
-[gasps] -[snarls]
Close it, close it!
-[panting] -Phew.
Well, we found all kinds of strange stuff...
But no Waldondo.
We are running out of time! The pirates will wake up soon.
We must find Waldondo now.
This is not good.
If we don’t find Waldondo and get out of here...
We’ll be put in one of those secret compartments!
What are we gonna do?
I don’t wanna live in a secret compartment!
I’m a big dragon! I need my space!
Burple. Panic back that way again.
What? Oh, sure.
Now, where was I?
We’re doomed!
-Huh? -[all] Huh?
There’s a secret compartment!
-[all exclaiming] -Nice find, Burps!
Thanks. I knew panicking would come in handy sooner or later.
Wing, blast that lock!
-On it. -Wait!
If you blast the lock, it’ll wake up the pirates.
I got this.
Nice one, Agg!
Okay, Waldondo’s definitely gotta be in there.
[all] Huh?
[in unison] Or another Marena?
Rescue Riders, what took you so long?
-Villainess! -Scoundrel!
-Trickster! -Faker!
-Copycat! -Phony!
-Imposter! -Actor!
[gasps]
[both chuckle]
[laughs] Hola,Rescue Riders.
[all] Waldondo?
Steve? I mean, Waldondo?
Sí, mis amigos!
It was I, Waldondo del Mundo, the whole time. Hmm.
So this means the Marena we were helping rescue Waldondo
was really...
Waldondo?
Mm-hmm.
And the Waldondo we were helping Marena rescue was really...
Marena?
The fish pies. The eyepatch.
I knew something was off about her.
I mean, him.
I mean... I don’t know what I mean!
So Marena was actually the one captured by Erik the Wretched?
In a way.
You see, I learned that Erik the Wretched
and Svetlana the Sly had captured
many different people and dragons.
[Leyla] Like Zeppla and Sparkle,
Svengard from Guttsgalor, and those dragon eggs.
Correct.
But the wolves?
[barking]
They were a surprise.
I knew I could not save them all on my own,
so I let myself get captured...
So they would take you to Pirate Island,
where you knew they stored their loot.
Then you sent for Waldondo!
Ha! Clever girl.
[laughs] That makes sense.
Not at all.
Wait, so... this was all a plot by you and Waldondo
to rescue all those dragons and people?
No, no, no. I had no idea!
I only heard that Marena was in trouble.
But I should have known better.
Always a step ahead, eh, Querida?
So you sent us the seagull?
But why didn’t you just tell us Marena was in trouble
in the first place?
After the many times I have tricked you?
I knew you would never believe me,
but I knew you would believe Marena,
and help her.
Brilliant, no?
Ha! Exactly what I expected you to do.
Uh, I still have a lot of questions.
-[distant clamoring] -But they will have to wait.
I hear them too.
Hear who too?
Pirates. Headed our way.
We were not quite quiet enough, I think.
Or perhaps it was those two dragons
roaring as they flew away.
-Ah. -Very catchy tune though.
[singsong] Road roar roar roar, roar roar roar roar.
-[intense music] -[growls]
[growls]
The Rescue Riders,
Waldondo del Mundo and Marena?
Get them!
Nyet! We will get them!
And we will get outta here!
[grunts]
No! Don’t let them get away!
-Come on, before... -[screams]
[straining]
-...they do that! -[laughs]
-Fire! -[grunts]
[both scream]
[sighs] Thanks!
Let’s wing it!
-[exclaims] -[sneezes]
[both scream]
I gotcha!
No, I got them.
Not if I get there first.
-Oh! -Whoa!
[groans] [sighs]
[screams]
[straining]
Relax, purple one. We will handle this.
-Ha! -Ha!
[both grunt]
[grunting]
[chuckles]
Go. Free the others.
[Erik] Fire now!
You cut the ropes. I’ll cover you.
[both exclaim]
[grunting] Whoa!
-[grunts] -Yargh.
I’ve got you now.
-[clang] -[Waldondo grunts]
[pirate groans]
Working together is fun, eh, Querida?
Just like old times.
[both grunt]
But this? Not as much fun.
[Erik laughs]
I have captured Marena and the famous Waldondo del Mundo!
Oh, if only Sigmund the Small and Helmet Helga
were here to see this! [laughs]
You captured them?
Nyet,I did!
No! I captured them!
[both grunting]
We gotta go back and save Marena.
And Waldondo.
I suppose.
But how? They have bolas and dragon pepper...
And Belzium nets!
I have an idea, but I’ll need a distraction.
Don’t worry. I have an idea for that!
[pirates scream]
What do you think Burple’s idea is?
[Burple screams]
[wolves barking and snarling]
[pirates screaming]
Uh, why did we capture wolves again?
[screams]
Yargh!
[whimpers]
Not even wolves will stop me from getting what I want!
I think I know what will!
How about a trade, Erik?
Waldondo and Marena for...
My Itty Bitty Pirate Kitties!
[suddenly to pirates] Stand down, stand down!
[sighs]
[grunts]
[laughs] Ayiyi!
-[grunts] -[gasps]
Don’t ever leave me again, Itty Bitty Pirate Kitties.
Especially you, Captain Whisker Beard.
Me-yargh. Me-yargh.
Huh? You let them go?
This makes me so disappointed!
Wow, islands that aren’t islands, secret maps,
disguises, hidden compartments and two Marenas.
It’s been a weird 24 hours.
Eh, I’ve seen worse.
The weirdest part might have been that Waldondo
was actually kind of a hero.
Yes, I was, wasn’t I?
But I wouldn’t get used to it.
[upbeat music]
